Wireless internet vs a wired connection?

[payne747]

Wireless is slower then wired connections, but your Internet connection is still slower then both of them so it makes no difference which method you use when accessing the Internet.

The differences become obvious if you start to share data locally between your computers. Wired connections will be faster at transfering files between your PC's, streaming media etc. But remember the Internet will only go as fast as your Internet connection (which is hardly a quarter speed of an average Wireless connection).
